PAKT Fitness Review – I tried a heated Pulse class at PAKT Fitness’s new studio The Den in King West, upstairs from their weight and group training space The Wild. The room was curated and calm, heated but not scorching, and the welcome at the door was genuinely warm. I was without question the oldest person in the class that day – oops, and nobody made that feel like a thing, which says a lot about the vibe they’re building.

My instructor Jordyn kept the energy up without going overboard, and I got to meet founder Karina, whose signature K-Method is the heart of the studio. Drop-in is normally $32, currently $29, which is fair for downtown Toronto boutique Pilates. If the idea of a scorching hot room has kept you away from Pilates, this is a gentler way in.
